The Medford Transcript in Massachusetts is not fair to the residents of that community. The long-time editor, Nell Escobar Coakley, does the bidding of a suspicious CIty Hall with poor follow-up to stories. During elections the paper goes beyond playing favorites to positioning articles in a biased way in order to sway the voters the way the paper wants them to vote. Headlines in the paper edition catch the eye with a headline that can benefit a preferred candidate. It is outrageously on sale for $2.00 (while other publications in other cities and towns from the same company are free,) and if a notable citizen passes on, they want money to run the story. They claim to be a community newspaper but I read in a search on the paper that one citizen, now deceased, was forbidden from entering the offices. He ran a news show and the editor didn't like him. So much for caring about the community. If you complain they will be vindictive. That is not how a news organization should run. Serving the community while playing favorites is not serving a community and advertisers should think twice about such practices.
